Ok this is the lady who was potty training her 2 year old child and as a form of punishment, she glued her hands to the wall and beat her. She was sentenced to 99 years (I say just kill her). But here is where I get a little confused on our justice system.

Obviously with a sentencing like this, she will die in prison, as will, for example, Jerrry Sandusky. Now, here is where my confusion is; Jerry Sandusky diddled a dozen boys over a number of years, scarring them forever. He was sentenced to a minimum 30 years maximun 60 years. WTF? I mean it doesnt really MATTER because they will both be in prison for the rest of their lives, but how do they come up with the numbers? I'm not saying that her sentence of 99 years was too harsh (again, I say just kill her), but with this sentence, they are saying that she is worse than a child molester.

Any thoughts?

EDIT: Either they updated the article, or I didn't see/read the last sentence, but I guess she will be eligible for parole in 30 years.

It seems like I read a new child abuse story every week in the news. And those are the only ones we hear about. Truly is a sad thing. Something like this just happen locally, twice. And it's a small city. What's with all of these un-fit parents? Sure, you're going to get stressed while raising a child, but step back and take a breather! Don't take out your frustrations on a child.
